If I may, I would like to tell you about some of the advantages of 

 fall planting, especially where roses are concerned. 



First — a fall-planted rose takes advantage of every little break in 

 the weather during the late fall, winter and early spring to develop its 

 feeder roots, thus putting it substantially ahead of the spring-planted rose. 

 Second — it is easier to plant in the fall when the earth is more easily 

 worked after its long summer season in the sun. Third — weather favors 

 fall planting because it is more predictable, more likely to be right when 

 you want to plant. Fourth — fall planting saves time for you in the spring 

 when everything in the garden seems to demand your attention at once. 



I would like to point out a possible fifth reason — a sort of "go thou and do likewise" reason — which has some merit. 

 Since many an expert rose gardener — the prize winners, the rose fanciers, the "old pros" — plant in the fall, would 

 it not be wise to rely on their experience and judgment and do the same? 



We have practiced fall planting for many years in our own gardens with excellent results. So sure are we of success 

 that we guarantee that roses planted in the fall will go through the first winter and bloom the following summer (except 

 a few climbers which may require 2 years to bloom). 



The main thing is that the sooner you plant the sooner your roses will be established. And speaking of your roses, 

 I'd like to draw your attention to our new introductions which appear in this catalog for the first time. Perhaps one or 

 more of them will strike your fancy. All are top-notch quality roses — of that I can assure you. Our new All-America 

 winner for 1963, Royal Highness, is on the cover and page 3; Mt. Shasta, page 2; Orange Flame, page 4; Rumba, 

 page 22; Lancaster, page 26; and Chicago Peace (a most unusual Peace sport) on page 32. 



With best wishes for your garden pleasure, I am 



Sincerely,
